Outlaw

Anyone watch it? Was it as bad as the reviews and adverts made it seem? I'm almost tempted because it looks like the worst tele ever, but I can't bring myself to bother.

Supreme court judge quits to set up own law office so he can make a difference? What tripe.

What about the other new shows?

Parenthood also came back, not gotten around to it but will do.

CSI is coming back, that had turned into rubbish, but a decent cliff hanger and opener so might give another episode a go.

We watched it. Not bad, really - certainly good enough to justify watching the next ep.

It was a lot like Shark, but the other way around.

Even though I like Jimmy Smits it was crap. Turned over after about 20 mins.

I say give it a go. The Smits character is clearly meant to make you think of Antonin Scalia...

Finally got around to watching Lost Girls

A twist to vampire stuff, as a sucubus, and a "light" and "dark" faction.

All very daft, probably won't last, but I rather enjoyed it all the same....and the outfits on that bird weren't to shabby either :D

I love True Blood and Mad Men.

So far I have something to watch every night except Friday.
Am looking forward to The Event although with all the hype it could be pants and it clashes with Lone Star. Then there's Hawaii 5-0 which I'm going to try (I loved the old show - showing my age :eek:).
Glee's back on Tuesday and the new Law&Order: LA and a new series of SVU for Wednesdays with Lie To Me (in November). Getting seriously fed up with Lie to Me or rather fed up with Cal's daughter, it's getting harder and harder to watch when she appears in an episode
Thursdays The Apprentice.

It's going to be a test of whether or not I can stand all the adverts or if I have to watch the shows via "other means" if I can't.

I guess I watch far too much rubbish on the goggly box :) Looking at the schedule, I have 5 things recording on Friday night ; Human Target, Medium, Supernatural, The Good Guys, Blue Bloods and Outlaw. I'm sure half will be rubbish, but there you go.

As for those ads, they're history with my Windows media centre setup. They get removed automatically which is a blessing as the local cable operator likes to double the volume during ad breaks.

So, anyone up for a telly "Dead pool"? Which one of the new crop will be first to go? I'll go for "The Defenders". It looks pretty naff. With my predictive powers, it will probably end up running fro longer than Law & Order.

Castle was fun if somewhat daft and predictable.

That pretty much sums it up for me. I really like it though. Weirdly, it's not on for another 50 minutes here! I'll never get used to a country with time zones. Going to watch House once I've got my cuppa and some Jaffa cakes.

I enjoyed Lone Star and Hawaii Five-O last night...both look promising IMO.

I've got Five-0 lined up to watch later, looks like a good bit of cheese for a remake....I'm not sure about Lone Star, but got that lined up for the missus.

Haven is turning out to be a lot of fun, very silly and it probably won't last, but fun all the same.

This is Not My Life, the kiwi show I mentioned a while back, that is really gripping though, very slow but a lot of drama and quite creepy in a 1981 kind of fashion.

Dark Blue, that's really gotten shite I thought, very samey samey cop rubbish...much like Leverage and the back story is lame to not there at all, which is how Royal Pains is going now they've changed track from the Boris fellow.

Yet, I'm still compelled to watch it, eventually at least :lol:

Very disappointed in Hawaii 5-0 although they kept the theme tune very similar to the original. Lone Star I enjoyed and will have to watch The Event when it's repeated on Saturday as I have no PVR.
